THE RIDE
Raiders Gravel is a three day gravel stage race and ride which takes riders deep into the breathtaking wilderness of the Galloway Forest Park.
You can race it or take it more easily, with the competitive riders starting each stage in an early wave.
Whether you’re racing or riding you’ll tackle gruelling climbs, travel through deep forests and alongside stunning lochs, and all in one of Scotland’s most beautiful areas.
Along with our festival at the Event HQ in Gatehouse of Fleet, Raiders Gravel guarantees a truly Scottish gravel experience.
RACE OR RIDE
Raiders Gravel is a stage race AND a multi day gravel ride.
Racers win the event by covering the three stages in the fastest cumulative time. If you don’t finish one of the stages you are out of the General Classification but you can still ride on.
Race or ride, everyone’s ride is timed.
SOLO OR TEAM
If you prefer to be your own boss a solo entry for Raiders Gravel is the best option, but if two’s company pick a team entry.
Both solo and team entrants will ride all the stages in full.
